So, this was my first time watching a thai drama and I picked this one cause I'm a sucker for supernatural. And honestly i quite liked it.

There were a lot of things I really enjoyed.

-The story line - how special students managed to pull through the troubles they are having and how having the quality that makes them stand out can also be the reason why they are put on a pedestal or even tear them down. Really brings out the motto, that everything has it's pros and cons. I also really like how they bring in the normal school life with the usual scenarios that are brought to life so the viewers can actually feel and relate to this despite it having supernatural undertones.

I like how the mc becomes nothing to a something but how he still holds on to a strong sense of justice, not letting the power get to him. It also depicts how a leader should be. Not a dictator who does as he wishes but some one who pulls the group together and helps them to stick together as a team. No man left behind. I like how he truly cares for his friends.

I liked the mc's friend's weak punch lines which made the level of seriousness bar a bit lower. And i really like how the villain tries to turn into hero. in fact the growth of each character is seen in each episode, yet the story line does not forget who the main character is, which i found was a very clever way to get the story moving.

However, I would have really liked it if they should the mc's back story as well. As to how he reached each point of his life. so maybe the viewers would be able to justify his actions. Similarly, if noticed only a few of the students in the class had their back stories shined upon and the rest were kinda neglected. Or better way to word it, is that even each student had one episode dedicated to them, they were left and the focus was not back on them again except for subtle hints. It would have been better if they were given a little more attention in other episodes than their own.

I even loved that no CGI or special effects were required to do the supernatural effects (because usually it just feels so fake) and that made it all the more real. Honestly even I might have the ability to do something supernatural like that.

Also there were a few times where I felt the points the drama wanted to get across were not well reached. Even the end of the end, had quite a lot of open ended questions and to me felt a little rushed. Even though it seemed like something failed and there was still hope, i really felt some thing should have ended on a slightly happier not. I get that this was done to build the excitement for the next season but leaving too many questions also leaves people unsatisfied.

- Acting & Cast - Even the acting and cast were really good as I could feel the emotions permeating through the drama. Which for me is very rare to feel in a live action. I could feel each pain the characters feel and could also feel pity for some and understood them. so that meant the acting had to be great and i felt each actor who acted for their part matched very well. The emotions were so clearly seen that it hit hard and I was glad to feel it or I wouldn't have continued with the series.

Over all, this drama was a really good and worth it watch for me. But I would give it a slightly lower score. Only because Im a sucker for supernatural but not for sci-fi.
